All of the teachers , principle , workers are great and very interested in my daughter. The special education teachers come in to help from the city of Birmingham even though this is a private school. The care is good , and my daughter has come out due to the individual help from teachers. She has become more independant and responsible. I hate to leave next year but the school got accredidation and is moving foward. If you don't visit you will be very sorry. The registration is now. A caring Mom, Julie Miles.

I have been an active member of the St. Barnabas family for nine years. I have two children attending St. Barnabas and my wife graduated from the school. I don't think you could find a better enviranment for your your childs accademic and religious learning experiance. I served as the P.T.A. president for the past two years and my wife is the current president. We believe in St. Barnabas and highley reccomend it to any one that cares about their childs future.

St. Barnabas Regional is a terrific school. The principal, teacher and staff members are caring, loving, dedicated individuals. This is my son's 3rd year at St. Barnabas and he could not be happier! It may be the best-kept secret in Birmingham! I highly recommend any one who is looking for a quality, Christian education for their child to visit St. Barnabas first.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Test scores

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
